He's always been an odd looking guy. Zuckerberg, too, & they will age into ugly old men.

What could go wrong?

Perhaps we are the crazy ones for letting so much go to so few.

An already unattractive aging Musk is also showing the signs of Botox and fillers gone bad.

And his dark soul and being a man who does little to no fitness is showing too - the already odd is looking odder all the time.

I can't imagine it goes unnoticed (and not inciting irritation) among the Trump inner circle as it seems to send a message that Musk is distinct and above all things MAGA. Egomaniacal as Trump is, Musk is as bad or worse. And Vance is being promoted behind the scenes by the Musk $$$ IT crowd. HMMM.

Vance is ten times worse than Trump, partly because he can fake "common sense" for an hour or so.

I saw him in January 2023 at a Dave Chappell concert and he was the surprise guest. The audience started booing and hissing as he had laid off a bunch of people in SF. His face wasn’t as ugly but I guess the evil has really seeped into his whole body!

the other day, without paying attention to the cover. When I started to look through it at home, I realized that jamie looked like leon (not like that still image, a bit earlier), not just on the front cover, but in every photo in the book. Masking tape? Sharpie? or give it away?

That pic isn't unrepresentative of that final interaction. Musk was positively grovelling as he approached Trump. In the parlance of Musk's pals on Twitter, he looked like a beta cuck. And, yes, WEIRD.
